Transparent dressing: How to pull off fashion's most daring trend

The very best way to wear see-through garments is of course to not cover the body underneath at all — but the barely-dressed look might be a little bit spicy for some occasions. Luckily there are numerous ways to style the transparent dress without it losing its edge.

A bustier has three great benefits when wearing a transparent top or dress: It makes your boobs look great, no matter the size; it usually provides a bit more coverage than a regular bra; and last but not least, it makes you feel really sexy.

Mixing materials is always a good idea. Lace adds a luxurious, tactile feel to your sheer outfit and gives it a romantic vibe. And great lingerie makes you feel, for lack of a better word, expensive — regardless of whether anyone sees it or not.

It doesn’t have to be Skims x Fendi to be on the money. Nude shapewear works as well hidden as it does out in the open. But please don’t squeeze into a smaller size to snatch your waist extra tight — use the shapely wear to flaunt your body, not to alter it.

A sports bra (a big logo is a plus) and bicycle shorts give a sheer dress a tougher touch, perfect for a day to day look or a night on the dance floor. Add sneakers for a club kid vibe, or heels to dress it up.

A silky slip dress adds another dimension to the sheer dress. Colour match for a more subtle look or add some extra attitude to your outfit by donning a black or bright coloured slip beneath a light dress.

Nipple covers in your skin tone do what they’re supposed to do — cover your nipples. Perfect for women who want to show skin without baring it all. Be discreet or have fun with it and opt for covers that stand out a bit more. There are plenty of heart or crossed shaped nipple stickers that do the job while also adding a bit of flare.
